A Somali referee who is due to officiate at the World Cup has been denied entry to the U.S. after “vetting concerns” emerged upon his arrival in Florida over the weekend.

Omar Artan arrived at Miami International Airport on a flight from Istanbul on Saturday but was barred from entering the country following a “routine” inspection, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed in a statement to The Athletic.

Artan, the 2025 Confederation of African Football men’s referee of the year, is one of 52 referees handpicked by world governing body FIFA for the tournament.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:

“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.

Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”

It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

shit you not some reform voters will wake up in the morning and be confused because nigel fridge isn’t president

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Reform want to round up migrants and detain them indefinitely in areas that don’t vote for them.

Yet for most of our media, it’s those marching for Palestine who are creating hatred & fear.

These disgusting plans are an affront to democracy — and must be fiercely opposed.

This should be making international headlines. Every alarm bell known to mankind should be ringing. This is dangerous and genuinely catastrophic

This is John Ashby, the racist monster who raped a Sikh woman because he believed her to be Muslim. This image should be on the front page of every newspaper and online platform. His actions will have been fuelled by the hateful rhetoric pumped out online and normalised by hard right politicians. Damn you and your sick views. My heart is broken for the survivor of this attack. She will suffer the psychological scars of this misogynistic violence for the rest of her life. I hope he is imprisoned for the rest of his days.

When the Knesset yesterday, passed the law approving the death penalty for Palestinians ONLY, they popped champagne bottles in the chamber as they applauded. You read that correctly.

Not your problem?
It’s complicated?
STILL SILENT?

SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.

Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.

The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This is Apartheid.

It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide.

To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.
